Hillary
& Martha, Saturn in Cancer, Mars in Pisces and The Soul-Searching
Summer of '03:
Astrologically,
it didn't have to go this way for Martha Stewart (arrogance always
trips up Leos, it did with Bill Clinton), and I'm convinced that
she will redeem and reinvent herself before the final act of this
story has been written.
She's
a Leo with Scorpio Rising (Aug 3 1941), and lucky Jupiter is on
her midheaven giving her lots of attention right now (yes,
there will be a book deal), even though it's the kind she doesn't
necessarily want. Mars the planet of drive and energy, will soon
favorably aspect her Scorpio ascendant, giving her an edge that
she hasn't had in a while.
Jupiter
in Leo is also doing its thing with Hillary Clinton's Leo planets.
She
is so out front right now, and one can't help but wonder if at the
last moment she will be drafted by the Democrats to run. Like her
or not, one also wonders if it is not in fact her destiny to be
the first woman President? President Theodore Roosevelt was a Scorpio
(born on Oct 27) and he was President, lost and then as many Scorpios
do, experienced a 'rebirth' and served another term.
Astrologically,
Hillary and Martha have a lot in common.
Hillary
(Oct 26 1947 with latest birthtime being reported as 8:03 AM Chicago)
is a Scorpio with Mars, Saturn, and Pluto in Leo, and both ladies
share the mixed blessings of such an emphasis in those powerful
signs, which makes them fair (or I should say un-fair) game for
those that still have a problem with the archetype of the bold and
successful woman.
With the perpetrators of Enron, WorldCom and Anderson and the likes
of Ken Lay, Jeff Skilling, and Bernie Ebbers still relatively untouched
as they effectively destroyed the financial lives of so many of
their employees, one wonders when these witch-hunts will ever end?
Martha's
chart, with Scorpio rising and transiting Jupiter on her Leo midheaven,
speaks of a transformation and a redefining of her personal values,
as Pluto the planet of death and rebirth is going through her second
house of worth.
Many
of us will be doing the same this summer because as of June 16,
Mars will be in Pisces for 6 months, and retro grade for 2 out of
those 6 months from July 29-Sept 27. Mars hasn't spent that amount
of time in Pisces since 1956. In my December predictions, "Water
Stories" were heavily featured. I swear, I knew nothing about
"Finding Nemo" and the splash it would make on screen!
The combination of Mars (hot) in Pisces (water), literally spells
hot water! Mars rules war, brazen sexual drive, the color red, cutting,
knives, and aggression. Pisces rules dreams, the feet, the soul
and the sea.
Watch for the days after Mars stations direct on Dec 16 for heightened
Mars activity:The Attica Prison uprising occurred in Sept 1971 just
after Mars turned direct. And the Christmas Rush: December 17-20
promises to be more ferocious than usual as Mars enters Aries. We
can definitely expect some 'Mars-y' action for sure.
But
back to Mars in Pisces for a 'mo':
In 1956 during this transit we saw: the sinking of The Andria Doria,
(be careful on those cruises and water skis) The Suez Canal, The
Interstate Highway act of 1956 and the film The Ten Commandments
with the literal parting of the Red Sea. Most of these images speak
to Mars (cutting) in Pisces (sea). Pisces rules certain aspects
of religion and art, so expect big Show-Biz News this summer too:
Elvis debuted on Ed Sullivan during this transit in '56. And on
July 1 1956 Marilyn Monroe converted to Judaism to marry playwright
Arthur Miller.
Mars
retrograde in Pisces this summer will bring many more stories about
water AND oil, and how they don't mix, as well as an abundance of
religious fervor (do we need any more?).
This
6 month transit will prompt a great deal of passionate soul searching
and urge all of us to be brutally honest about what is truly motivating
our actions. The conjunction with Uranus could bring sea storms
and tsunamis (so much to look forward to)! What's more, Saturn the
planet of restriction and hardship has just entered cancer for the
first time since 1973-75. This 25 month transit which began on June
4 will feel like 'The Long and WHINING Road'. America is a Cancer
nation (July 4 1776), so don't expect the economy or people's moods
to improve anytime soon under Saturn's grip. GWB's popularity will
decline, along with his very health and safety. (Maybe he should
wear water wings?). It was during the exact Saturn transit in 1974
that Nixon resigned. Saturn is exact on W's sun in October 2003
(the station is on October 23).
